Great food with Great service. I had a French Dip Sandwich meal and my wife had Tequila Shrimp. We also ordered the breaded mushrooms as an appetizer. The breaded mushrooms were the best I have had in years. Friendly staff and clean facility.

As a resident of Bandera, I've eaten here at least 30 times, and I've NEVER been disappointed with the food or the service! Today was no different. First off, my server Chelsea was AWESOME! She was friendly and very attentive. Despite being in a "boot" with a fractured foot, my girl was still hustling and going above and beyond with mine, and all of her other assigned tables. Second, my catfish plate was fresh, piping hot, and delicious (it always is!). I really love the green beans here too. They're not those dull green, canned green beans you get in a lot of restaurants. They are always fresh and well seasoned here. In my opinion, this is one of the top two restaurants in all of Bandera. Merry Christmas, everyone! ☃️🎄

I have got to say. This place was wonderful for myself and my family! Stephanie our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we need. As for the food greatly portioned. My son got the chicken strips and there was plenty left over. The chicken fried chicken was so tender and juicy, and the breading wasn’t thick and hard it was light and crunchy. It really hit the spot! My boys were happy! To the cooks keep doing what your doing! Servers keep up the beautiful smiles and service. The owners great job we will definitely be back. Thanks also for having the Cowboys game on!! Quick note the alcohol beverages were good and greatly priced. Blueberry pina colada’s yummy and a first for me.

The food is so well priced and worth every penny. Not only is it delicious, it's served up by the friendliest wait staff in the region. The beer is cold and the cocktails are done to perfection.

Nice place shared with Cowgirl Coffee upstairs. Reasonable prices. My burger was good. The Pecan Cheese Cake was excellent.
